This is my first time to hear of the isles, but I am fascinated by the history. Incredible stories.

So if it so far away from civilization, why are there still animals living . I saw so many sheep. Don't they need to be taking care of ?

I have watched a few videos about St. Kilda now, but this one gives me the strongest sense of how otherworldly it must be there. I'm trying to imagine how people lived there for thousands of years, and for some of them that lonely set of rocks in the Atlantic may have been they only place they ever knew. Thank you.

Thank you for this great video. I've been trying to search it but can't find the answer - do you know if one may legally stay there for a night or two with their own tent? I know there are cruise boats that will take you there for a day trip, but is there a way to stay?

Born in Oakland California, the Outer Hebrides is about as far away as you can be. By about 9 or 10 I knew about them and will probably never know why. Maybe if you're born with red hair they let you in on it.

Marvellous how he managed to keep the army camp out of view. The army supply electricity, water, store food, medical cover for the national trust parties that visit. Just try and pretend they're not there.

The army left in the 1960's and the accommodation unit was upgraded around the time of this film. But it's true the defence contractor sustains the island for the NTS.

Without wishing to sound all Billy Big Bollox (because it's easily look-upable) but it's the archipelago that is called St Kilda and which comprises four islands - Dun, Boray, Soray and the largest - which the abandoned village is on - Hirta. However, it seems that St Kilda has become the name by which Hirta is now mostly known. This may have been mentioned before but I'm not reading all 261 other comments to find out !!! That said this video does give a great view of how bleak and isolated it is and no wonder the original islanders eventually gave up and "emigrated" to the mainland nearly 100 years ago.

I visited St Kilda/Hirta from Benbecula in the early '80's. It was a surreal place. I helped unload a load of stores for the weather and radar crews, had a walk around and a pint in the Puffin Inn. It was quite a memorable experience.

I live on Fugloy island, in the Faroe Islands, fairly close to St Kilda. Life here is very similar. Id say the only difference is the language.
